'Moving and rich...overflowing with warmth and humanity' The Times
In this pioneering work of life-writing and reportage, Anthony
DePalma reconstructs the interwoven stories of five ordinary
citizens and their families to bring the true story of the Cuban
people to the world. From Castro's heyday, through the devastation
of post-Soviet collapse, to the false dawn of recent years, we
witness the hardships of life across six decades of socialist state
control - where even today the government decides what work you can
do and where you live; where food is rationed, and basic medicines
are unavailable. The Cubans maps a country where the revolution
that once inspired its people has since tested their faith with
tragedy and disillusionment, revealing the daily acts of heroism
and the endlessly adaptive resilience that are required of them to
survive. 'Page-turning...revealing and unputdownable' Claire
Boobbyer, Cuba travel expert 'A deeply reported...account of Cuba's
bittersweet realities' Financial Times
